Better than BK. Almost as good as Chili's.

While we're on the subject of shitty franchise food, has anybody tried Pizza Hut's new P'zolos yet?

No, but if they had a veggie option, I'd have eaten like six.  They look delicious.

They're opening one up near where I work next week. What's it like?

They make them fresh, right in front of you.  And their french fries are awesome.  Definitely a

Sure, but they look delicious because there's meat in them.

The Five Guys recommendation receives the seal of approval from me.

No chance of the quality going down as franchises explode everywhere?  That kinda happened to Red Robin...much better when they were mostly a local, Seattle-area thing.

I hadn't noticed.  They seem to definitely follow the freshness model, no matter where they go.  And I've been to quite a few.

I was curious about how a pound of cheese, meat, and dough stacks up nutritionally. In its nutrition guide, though, Pizza Hut points out that a serving is actually half a P'Zone. If you follow that unadvertised guideline and split it with a friend, each of you will get between 610 and 690 calories, depending on the filling, and between 23 and 29 grams of fat. But if you do as the ads promote and keep it "yours alone," you get from 1,220 to 1,380 calories and between 46 and 58 grams of fat. That's from 70 to 90 percent of your recommended daily calories from fat, if you eat 2,000 calories a day. Eating an entire P'Zone will also give you between 112 and 144 percent of your daily sodium recommendation.

Holy shit, they're sodium JDAMs.  Never mind. 

[Ideologue]

I need that sodium for my superhuman nervous system.

Eat one..........you'll get P'ZOWNED

I hear that salt doesn't matter so much.

I remember going to a Red Robin in Calgary that was walking distance of my apartment 10 years ago..

Banzai burger at Red Robin is good... plus they have refillable fries!

 I've lived my entire life without a cellphone, a driver's license, and many of the other modern conveniences associated with life in the western world. I have, however, just bought my first camera.

I leave in a week, and wish to record the cats of Kyushu, as well as other objects of interest. Incessantly taking photos will be yet another step on the path to integration into Japanese society.

If there is desire for a catalog of Kyushu's cats & curiosities from languish, i'd be happy to post these pictures here.
